There are those who minimize the threat which
is considered by a great ,many business men and
publishers to be hanging over the future of free
enterprise in this country, and say that every-
thing Will right itself when this war is ovpr.
That may be true, but there was no such
sc unding of the need to see that such freedom is
forthcoming immediately this war is over during
the period of world war one.

So whether or noit business of the future hae
any grounds of being fearful, there is so much
smoke to be seen on tjhe horizon of things, that
the most of us are inclined to believe there must
of necessity be the procuring cause in some
kind of fire.

One astute business observer said recently
that if Denison grew Ito any considerable extent
in a business way in the future it must of
necessity take cognizance of the 200 and 100
blocks since there was no other direction in
which it could grow and stay on the main stem.

Oue of the prominent papers
of the nation which has always
believed in municipal ownership
of electric power, now comes
out “flat footed” in opposition
to a program for one of the
greatest Federal power projects
to take over a local private elec-
tric company. It bases its ob-
jections on two grounds;
(1) That thousands of local
stock and bond holders woulJf
not be adequately protected, and
(2) that it doep not want to see
the Federal government get a
further grip on the affairs of the
statte.
A lot of good people in sanc-
tioning a city going into the elec-
tric business and putting private
citizens out of that line of indus-
try, have overlooked the princi-
ple involved, namely, that you
cannot have free industry and
socialized industry at the same
time. The socialized industry,
with all the taxing power and
authority of government behind
it, once it is given a foothold, is
bound to absorb the free indus-
try.
So those who favored local
communities driving private citi-
zens out of the electric industry
(which is simply socialism on a
small scale) are now seeing the
logical result of that experiment
namely, the extension of the
*ocialistic idea to larger and lar-
ger segments of the electric in
dustry. Finally, the same politi-
'‘According td informjaitioti
received from headquarters,,” it
was announced today by Cap-
tain Andrew R. Davis, local pro-
curement officer of the Marine
’Corps Women’s Reserve, “there
are currently twenty-two duty-
classifications for which quali-
fied women are particular;)
needed now."
“The list includes: beauty
operator; cabinet maker, autc
parts clerk; mail clerk; courl
reporter; electrician; film edi
tor and negative cutter; glazier
woodworking machine operator
refrigeration (mechanic; motion
picture sound equipment opera-
tor; motor rewinder; automobile
painter; general painter; sign
painter, photographer; plumber
office machine repairman; re-
porterr; sheetmetal worker; up
holsterer; welder.
“Women between the ages oj
20 and 36 with no children
under eighteen, who can pass
the physical and aptitude testi-
and have experience in any one
of the above classifications, are
urged to volunteer at the U. S
Marine Corps procurement of-
fice, 432 Allen building. Dallas
Quick action is essential, if these
openings are to be filled from
this district,” the captain said

as a limitation on volunteers
desired by the Corps," ( aptain^
